What am I supposed to believe. As reported in todays Guardian:

"Conservative MPs voted against a confidence motion in the government on Monday evening, with several giving speeches praising Johnson."

Well, for a start, if you wish to believe the Guardian (and it is often accurate) give a link to your quotes.
According to their online version: Guardian conservatives voted for the motion, not against as you have stated.

From the above link: After rejecting a Labour motion that the Commons had no confidence in Boris Johnson’s government, the Conservatives put forward their own motion to the effect that the House does in fact have confidence in the government. Tory MPs were expected to back the government and carry the motion, and they did. Find out how your MP voted

This is not just pedantry. It is the correction of false claims being made, either deliberately, or in error.
